When Zhu Qinghe came out of school after school, he ran into Liu Dahong from the tube well, and hurried up to ask, "Grandpa Hong, has someone started watering the ground? At my house... when will it be watered?"

Liu Dahong touched his head so bright that it could be used as a mirror, thought for a while and said, "Now someone is pouring water next to your house. If you settle down, go and pick out the river channel, and it will be on the wheel in two hours. You Can you do it, kid? No matter how fast it takes for an acre of land, it will take four hours, and it will take midnight after watering. If you are afraid, change the time."

Zhu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I can do it, but it will be harvested after a while, and it will be troublesome if I can't keep up with the winter wheat."

"Have you measured the wheat seeds?" Liu Dahong took out a cigarette stick from his waist and put it near his mouth to take two puffs. After a while, he asked casually.

Zhu Qinghe said with a smile: "I found Uncle Fuman's house to make seeds, and I will plant the beans directly after harvesting."

"That's ok, please pay attention to the time, don't delay. By the way, although it is much more peaceful now, but a while ago, I heard that wolves attacked people in other villages. Be careful, and wait until it gets dark." Find a fire and start a fire."

Zhu Qinghe thanked the old man, pursed his lips and went to the shop to buy a pack of cigarettes and a cake. If he was hungry after pouring water, he would not delay his sleep if he was hungry.He was already very content to be able to finish it before twelve o'clock, it was better than sleeping soundly and going out at three or four o'clock.

After returning home and eating, I borrowed tools from Uncle Fuman's house, put them on my shoulders, and walked into the field with a large glass bottle in my hand.The area of ​​their house has not been watered yet, and the river course is full of weeds and gravel. Only when the water comes out of the clear water can the water be finished quickly.It's not too close from east to west, and he just came over after he finished carrying water, so there would be no delay.

After returning home from the county town, Wang Yongmei went to the butcher's house to weigh a catty of pork ribs. Before Ruan Mu came home from school, she had stewed them for a long time.

Wang Yongmei came out of the house, saw her son came back alone, and asked: "Where is Qinghe? Why didn't you come back with you? I said that I will cook his meals in the future. What is there to see?"

Ruan Mu put the bag in his hand on the ground, walked to the sink and washed his hands, and said, "He ran away when he saw someone, and he didn't even bother me. It smells so good, Mom, have you stewed meat?"

Wang Yongmei handed over the towel and said with a smile: "I'll satisfy you two. I've called and your dad is leaving today to pick you up. Go back and do well. Don't worry mom. I'll go back to Beijing to see it when I have time." You. Now that you have grown up, you have to help take care of your grandparents, they are only my daughter, and it is my fault that I am not here to accompany you. "

Ruan Mu opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Everyone has a dream, otherwise Mom wouldn't come from the huge Beijing to such a place where nothing shit happens. Maybe when the dream comes true, the persistence in her heart If I miss it, I might want to go back to my hometown.This place, which he never cared about, might become his permanent residence in the near future.

After opening the lid of the pot, a richer aroma came out, and the ribs were mixed with peeled eggs, which made people very greedy.

Wang Yongmei turned her head and said to her son, "Go to Qinghe's house and call him over. This meat is still delicious when it's hot, and it won't taste good when it's cold."

Ruan Mu responded briskly and ran out. At this moment, the road was mostly workers from brick kilns, and they ran to Zhu Qinghe's house panting. Looking at the locked gate, he stopped, wiped his face, and stood up. Turn around and walk back.He is not familiar with the people in this village. Most of them look familiar, but they don't know what to call them. When he walked to the door of Uncle Fuman's house and saw Aunt Fuman coming out of the yard, he hesitated and asked Said: "Auntie, have you seen Zhu Qinghe?"

"Isn't he going to water the field today? I borrowed a guy from me, and I'm not at home, so I should go to the field."

Ruan Mu went to the field, and he really saw Zhu Qinghe not far away. He kept his hands and wiped sweat with the towel hanging around his neck from time to time. His movements were skillful and quick, but it didn't look like what he should do at his age. Things happened, my throat felt sore, I took two steps forward, and shouted: "Zhu Qinghe, brother!"

Zhu Qinghe Re's head was foggy, and when he heard someone calling, he wiped off his sweat, and saw that it was Ruan Mu, who was walking this way, so he quickly waved his hands to signal him to wait there.Wear such clean clothes so as not to scratch and get dirty here.

Ruan Mu watched Zhu Qinghe come out quickly, and said with a smile, "My mother is still waiting for you to eat."

Zhu Qinghe was a little embarrassed, and wiped his forehead with a towel: "No, I have to pick out the river channel as soon as possible, otherwise the water will not pass through, and it will be troublesome when it overflows into other people's fields. Tell Teacher Wang, I understand go again."

There is not much rain this year, and the fields are even more water-scarce. Dust flies when they touch it. Zhu Qinghe was tossing about just now, his face was disheartened. Ruan Mu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it: "Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother."

Zhu Qinghe waited for him to leave, and then slowly returned to the place just now. The river had been blocked by grass. This kind of grass, which is called snake vine in the local area, grows like a snake and is very tough. It can be pulled with bare hands. Broken palms can only be cut with a sickle or rubbed against the foundation with a shovel. The small gravel inside does not matter, and the large ones occupy a large area, and you even have to dig it out with your hands.

I didn't make much effort these days, and my waist became sore after a long time. I worked hard to clean up the land in front of my house, and pulled the soil into a pile to block the middle of the river, so as to prevent the water from flowing turbulently.After sitting down and resting for a while, he saw water flowing in front of him happily. He stood up quickly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the water pour into the ground through the opening.This was the first time he was watering the fields alone, which was the most common thing for farmers, but he was complicated for a while.

He was the only one in the open field, and it was quite cool when the wind blew up. He sat on the ground in a daze, and it would take a long time until the end.In the next few decades, the land occupied by enterprises will become the largest. In fact, there is not much land that people can plant. , 200 yuan a year, a little bit of emergency relief.

Ruan Mu returned home and said to Wang Yongmei who was still busy around the stove: "Mom, he watered the ground today, but now he is standing on the ground, put it in a lunch box and I will send it to him."

Wang Yongmei sighed: "What kind of evil is this, such a big child, bring more, you can eat with him there and come back."

Zhu Qinghe saw the pork ribs, eggs and rice in Ruan Mu's hands, and smiled joyfully on his face: "It's better to be Teacher Wang, who misses me so much."

Ruan Mu handed him the chopsticks: "You just took a few casual bites at home? Eat quickly, it's getting dark, and be careful of bugs getting in. My mother asked me to give this to you."

Zhu Qinghe took the flashlight and put it next to him, got up and put away the dead branches and leaves nearby, gathered them together and lit them with a match, and the dim light shone on their faces: "It's colder in the field than at home, don't wear less clothes and be careful of catching cold." .Hurry up and go back after eating."

Ruan Mu curled his lips, he kindly gave this man food, but he didn't expect to be kicked out.But I really like the feeling of getting along with him, without needing to speak, my heart is at peace, who would have thought that the person who made him regret his whole life would appear in front of him like this, frowning or laughing, and falling into such a trap in every move In my eyes, there is freshness and warmth.

And Zhu Yutian, who came out to eat, went to his house and saw two half-sized children hiding here to eat, ho, it was pork ribs and eggs, very rich, and immediately snorted coldly.

Zhu Qinghe looked up, then lowered his head and ate his own as usual, what's so good about insignificant people.Ruan Mu didn't even raise his head, his family was inhuman, and he was afraid of dirtying his eyes.

Zhu Yutian didn't expect Zhu Qinghe to become so defiant, and immediately clouded his face, he bawled and left.

Ruan Mu clearly saw that Zhu Qinghe's chopsticks paused for a moment, then quickly finished eating, wiped his mouth and said, "It's scary in the field, you take this torch, go back quickly, I'll go back when the ground is poured." , tell Teacher Wang not to worry."

This man felt uncomfortable and was reluctant to show it. He was really stubborn. Ruan Mu obediently carried the lunch box and left. When the long strip came out, it caught fire, and it turned out to be smoke, which was smoked slowly one puff at a time.But he is only 14 years old, but he looks as old as dozens of years old. The back under the light of the fire shows a deep sadness, which makes people feel distressed. I really want to go up and hug him and tell him that there is no need to worry in the future, because I will always be by his side.

But in the end, Ruan Mu gritted his teeth and turned to leave. He didn't want to scare Zhu Qinghe. This strong person is actually very fragile. When he regains his strength, he will use the best everything to win Zhu Qinghe's love.

In this night, accompanied only by the sound of insects and water, he repeated the movements of closing and opening his mouth. He felt very tired even without doing anything. When the last piece of land was only half a level away, a voice came from a distance. , with a loud voice: "Qinghe, are you almost done pouring?"

Zhu Qinghe moved his stiffly sitting body, stood up and waited for someone to approach before smiling and saying, "There's still half of it to be fine."

This man is called Qian Dayou, and he is a good buddy who grew up with Zhu Yutian. There is a saying that does not make people flock together. Let's talk about people together.Zhu Qinghe secretly cursed bad luck, never expected to meet such a person.

Qian Dayou rubbed his hands and put them on the fire to roast them, and beckoned Zhu Qinghe to sit down: "Let's talk, I saw your father before I went home today, his brows were wrinkled, he looked old When he was a teenager, he always missed you. Why are you so cruel? You really plan to be enemies with your parents? When you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you can't even have no one to worship, right? "

Zhu Qinghe didn't bother to speak when he heard this, but he had to say: "What uncle said, wouldn't it be better to pray to the sky and the earth? If you tell me this, stop here, I don't like to hear it."

"Hehe, you have a big ass and a temper. How can you be so ungrateful? With you like this, which family in the village is willing to marry their daughter to you? If people outside ask, it still won't work. The family How important it is, do you understand?"

"There are too many bachelors in the village, and I haven't seen anyone starve to death. Uncle, I thank you for your kindness. Let's talk about this matter when I grow up. In case I get rich one day, maybe How many people are rushing to post backwards."

Qian Dayou's dark face froze, and he laughed: "Your tone is quite crazy."
